Matthias Elter announced today that KDE has won the Linux Community Award 2000 at LWE in Frankfurt/Germany! Congratulations to all the KDE developers on a job well done and an award well deserved. Pictures are available here, including a nice shot of the KDE team with none other than Linus himself.

Good news for KDE developer and user alike.
They really deserved it.
But, I just wonder whether the award presented because this Linux Community exhibition was held in Germany rather than in US.
Well, we all now that many linux users in US is Gnome fanatics.

KDE you did a GREAT job and you are the reason that I have switched from Windows to LINUX (I even gave up the IMHO best compiler in the world: Visual Age C++) about a year ago and I am now using kdevelop (which is great too). Just want to say THANK YOU for this excellent desktop! Great job!!!

well, I'm American and I use KDE. I know many Americans who use KDE. I think you are refering to the Gnome foundation and the decision by major vendors to choose Gnome as the standard unix desktop. I don't agree with their decision.

I will always use KDE as long is it relatively bug free and continues to improve. I congratulate the KDE team on a job well done. There are many of us who are anxiously awaiting the official release of KDE 2.0. Go KDE!

I am reply from work; but as soon as I reach home I'm gonna install linux on my Pentium II PC. Congrats to KDE team on winning the Linux Community Award 2000. Wishing you guys success year 2001! \:-))
What's the best open source C++ compiler available for Corel Linux Lite? Merci! Gracias! Thanks!
